If the baby's nappy is very very wet, you have two options, either add boosters (which will add absorbency to the nappy) or change more regularly. Adding boosters can add an extra 1/2 hour to an hour before the next change is needed, sometimes more. Your baby will go through stages where it wets more than others, so you will need to adjust the absorbancy levels of the nappy to suit the wetting levels of the baby. This is particularly true for night use. Some baby's need 3-4 boosters to be able to get through the night, and no extra boosters during the day.

Very Wet Nappy

Always ensure that the nappy cover, is over the entire nappy, and that no fabric is caught outside of the cover. If this happens, the fabric will get wet, therefore wet the baby's clothes. Ensure that there are no gaps.

Check that the baby is using the right size of cover, if it's too large, gaps will likely occur. If the fit is right, try washing the wrap in 60°C and then tumble drying until the wrap is dry (10-20 mins depending on dryier). This sometimes re-sets the fabric and eliminates leaks through stitch holes.

If you are getting leaks because the nappy is soaked through, follow steps for very wet nappy above.

Smelly Nappies

From time to time your nappies might build up residue from the washing agents if you don't use a sanitizer like Napisan. This is called stripping and the method is as follows: Do a cold wash without detergent, do a full wash at 60°C with full amount of detergent, do two full rinse cycles without detergent, or until there are no bubbles. We recommend for stripping to use Biological detergent which is stronger as a cleaning agent compared to non-biological detergents.
